• The device is a member of the ELI 1xx or ELI 2xx Series 2 electrocardiograph family.
Wireless Data Transmission
• Some Mortara electrocardiographs can be equipped with an optional wireless data transmission module
(WLAN or GPRS mobile). Both these technologies use radios to transmit data to a Mortara receiving
application. Due to the nature of radio transmissions, it’s possible that, due to the characteristics of the
environment where the device is located, some other RF sources may interfere with the transmission generated
by the device. Mortara Instrument has tested the coexistence of the device with other devices that can interfere
such as devices using WLAN, Bluetooth radio, and/or cell phones. Although the current technology allows a
very successful rate of transmission, it’s possible that in some rare occurrences, the system may not perform at
its best resulting in a “failed transmission.” When this occurs, patient data will not be erased from the device
nor stored in the receiving application, ensuring that partial or corrupted data are not made available to the
receiving station. If the failure mode persists the user should move to a position where the RF signals may
propagate better and allow successful transmissions.
WLAN Option
• Wireless options transmit at 2.4 GHz. Other nearby wireless devices may cause interference. If possible, move
or turn off other devices to minimize potential interference.
• The following table shows the channels allocated in different geographic areas in the world. Please consult
with your IT personnel in order to set the device on the proper channels.

1. Remove all packaging including cardboard backing from the paper stack.
2. Facing the front of the device, use the release latch on the left side and slide the paper tray cover to the left.
3. Place the stack of thermal paper into the paper tray such that the grid side of the paper is up when it is pulled
over the paper tray cover. The paper cue mark (a small black rectangle) should be in the lower left corner.
4. Manually advance one page of paper beyond the closure point of the writer. Make sure the paper lays on the
black roller evenly within the channel of the paper door. If paper is not manually advanced evenly, risk of
jamming or queue faults increases.
5. Slide paper tray cover to the right until the cover latches in a locked position. You will hear a sharp click when
the door is properly latched.
WARNING: Risk of injury to fingers in writer paper door or platen drive mechanisms.
NOTE: For proper printing performance, be certain to use Mortara recommended thermal paper.
14
SECTION 2
A4 Paper Use With The ELI 250c
If the ELI 250c was ordered with A4 paper, the paper tray spacer will be inserted in the paper tray and the
configuration option to use A4 paper will be set to YES. A paper tray spacer will not be provided if the device was
purchased with standard paper.
To insert the paper tray spacer:
Figure 2-3
1. Slide paper tray spacer towards rear wall of writer tray. Align the bottom four plastic arms with the four
openings in the base of the writer tray. Similarly, align the top 3 plastic arms with the three openings on the
rear wall of the writer tray.
15
SECTION 2
Figure 2-4
2. The paper tray spacer should be parallel with the rear wall of the writer tray.
Figure 2-5
3. Gently press paper tray spacer in place.
4. Set configuration option to use A4 paper. (See Section 4.)
5. Gently press on the top three plastic arms to remove the paper tray spacer.
16
SECTION 2
Applying Power
1. Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet and into the back of the device. (Reference Figure 1-3.)
2. Press the power ON/OFF button located on the face panel of the device. (Reference Figure 1-5.)
When using AC power, the battery indicator is clear when charging and illuminates in white when fully charged.
When using battery power, the battery indicator illuminates in green with a 35% to 100% charge and in yellow with
a 20% to 35% charge. The battery indicator will turn to red when the battery charge is 20% or less.
The device should be connected to AC power for recharging when not in use.
TIP: Battery voltage is displayed at the bottom of the Time/Date screen.
NOTE: There are configurable features on the device that can be used to help prolong battery life (see
Section 4). Proper battery care and maintenance will also help prolong battery life.
CAUTION: When the battery charge is depleted to its lowest level (10.5V), the device will automatically
power down. To recharge a battery from its lowest level, 30 hours of recharging without operation may be
necessary. Routinely discharging a battery to this level will severely shorten the life of the battery. Also
note that the unit may still be operated with a depleted battery on AC main. The unit will continue to
charge while in operation on AC power.
Low Battery Conditions
To prevent permanent damage to the internal lead-acid battery, the device will automatically power down when the
battery has been depleted to its lowest allowable level. When the device detects that the battery voltage has been
depleted to this level, it will display the messages “Battery Low – Charge Unit” for 10 seconds before shutting
down. Plugging in the AC cord during this time will cause the unit to return to the main acquisition screen.
If the device is in the ECG acquisition mode when the battery voltage is detected at its lowest allowable level, the
unit will display the message “Battery Low – Charge Unit”, but will not automatically shutdown until the user exits
the ECG acquisition mode. This allows the user to complete an ECG already in progress.
17
SECTION 2

device is not configured to work with the WAM.
NOTE: WAM must be paired to electrocardiograph before operation.
Installing the WLAN Antenna

The device with optional WLAN module is shipped with the antenna not installed: the antenna can be found in the
accessory box.
1. Remove the antenna from the accessory box.

2. Locate the antenna connector on the back of the device.
3. Mount the antenna on the connector by rotating the antenna clockwise. The antenna must be finger tight to its
connector.
4. Locate the built-in hinge and fold the antenna (it will now be at a 90° angle); continue to rotate the antenna
clockwise until it is placed vertically. This will guarantee the best signal for the WLAN module.
NOTE: For more information about the use of the WLAN option, refer to Appendix A.

RECORD AN ECG
SECTION 3
Patient Preparation
Before attaching the electrodes, assure the patient fully understands the procedure and what to expect.
• Privacy is very important in assuring the patient is relaxed.
• Reassure the patient that the procedure is painless and that the electrodes on their skin are all that they
will feel.
• Make sure the patient is lying down and is comfortable. If the table is narrow, tuck the patient’s hands
under his/her buttocks to ensure their muscles are relaxed.
• Once all the electrodes are attached, ask the patient to lie still and to not talk. Explain this will assist you in
acquiring a good ECG.
Preparing Patient Skin
Thorough skin preparation is very important. There is natural resistance on the skin surface from various sources
such as hair, oil, and dry, dead skin. Skin preparation is intended to minimize these effects and maximize the quality
of the ECG signal.
To prepare the skin:

• Shave hair from electrode sites if necessary.
• Wash area with warm, soapy water.
• Dry skin vigorously with a pad such as 2 x 2 or 4 x 4 gauze to remove dead skin cells and oil, and to
increase capillary blood flow.
NOTE: With elderly or frail patients take care to not abrade the skin causing discomfort or bruising.
Clinical discretion should always be used in patient preparation.
Patient Hookup
Correct electrode placement is important for acquiring a successful ECG.
A good minimum-impedance pathway will provide superior noise-free waveforms. Good quality silver-silver
chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes should be used.
TIP: Electrodes should be stored in an air-tight container. Electrodes will dry out if not stored properly
which will cause loss of adhesion and conductivity.
To Attach the Electrodes
1. Expose the arms and legs of the patient to attach the limb leads.
2. Place the electrodes on flat, fleshy parts of the arms and legs.
3. If a limb site is not available, place the electrodes on a perfused area of the stump.
4. Attach the electrodes to the skin. A good test for firm electrode contact is to slightly tug on the electrode to
check adhesion. If the electrode moves freely, it needs to be changed. If the electrode does not move
easily, a good connection has been obtained.
19
SECTION 3
For accurate V-lead placement and monitoring, it is important to locate the 4th intercostal space. The 4th intercostal
space is determined by first locating the 1st intercostal space. Because patients vary with respect to body shape, it is
difficult to palpate the 1st intercostal space with accuracy. Thus, locate the 2nd intercostal space by first palpating the
little bony prominence called the Angle of Lewis, where the body of the sternum joins the manubrium. This rise
in the sternum identifies where the second rib is attached, and the space just below it is the 2nd intercostal space.
Palpate and count down the chest until you locate the 4th intercostal space.

SECTION 3
Patient Demographic Entry

Patient demographic information can be entered before acquisition. The entered patient ID fields will remain
populated until you acquire the ECG; however, if you disconnect the leads from the patient, turn off the
electrocardiograph, or change a configuration setting before acquisition, the patient information will be cleared.
To access the patient demographic data entry menu, press F1 (ID) from real-time ECG view. Use the appropriate
function key to select the desired study group. The patient demographic labels available are determined by the ID
format selected in the configuration settings. In addition to short, standard, or long patient ID formats, the device
also supports a custom ID format. The custom format, designed in ELI Link or an E-Scribe™ data management
system, can be downloaded to the device. Additional information about the custom ID can be found in Appendix A,
or in the ELI Link and E-Scribe user manuals.
Patient demographic entry can be completed manually or automatically using an existing patient record in the
directory. To manually enter the patient demographics, use Enter, Tab, F1 (▲), or F2 (▼) to move to each data
entry field. To enter gender, use F3 (►) to move through the options, or type F or M from the keyboard to change
the gender to female or male. The patient’s date of birth should be entered whenever possible to ensure
interpretation (if set in configuration settings) is as complete as possible.
NOTE: If no age is entered before acquiring an ECG, the interpretation will default to a 40-year old male.
The statement “INTERPRETATION BASED ON A DEFAULT AGE OF 40 YEARS” will be added to the
interpretation text.
NOTE: If an age of zero (0) is used, the interpretation will default to a 6-month old infant. The statement
“INTERPRETATION BASED ON A DEFAULT AGE OF 6 MONTHS” will be added to the interpretation
text.
NOTE: Where global measurement values are not available (i.e., rate, interval, axis), text such as ‘- -‘ or
‘*’ or similar will display/print for the unavailable value.
When done, select F6 (Done). Skipped fields will appear as a blank field on the header of the ECG printout.
To automatically populate the demographics using an existing patient record, select F5 (Dir) from the ID screen.
Use F1 (▼/▲) to navigate by line down the directory list; use © (Shift), F1 (▼/▲) to move up. Similarly, use
F2 (▼▼/▲▲) to page down the directory list; use © (Shift), F2 (▼▼/▲▲) to page up. To quickly select a
patient name, use the keyboard to enter the first few letters of the last name. The letters will be displayed in the
lower left corner of the display screen and the desired name will automatically be highlighted. Once the desired
name is highlighted, press F3 (Selec) and the patient ID screen will return with all demographic fields populated.
Return to real-time ECG view by selecting F6 (Done).
TIP: Automatically populating demographic fields via the directory is only possible when the ID formats
are the same between records.
NOTE: A password may be required in order to enter the ECG directory. Obtain the password from the
department Administrator.
NOTE: A red ID label indicates there are no entries in the ID demographics, or a required field is missing
from the selected patient demographics.
Entering Symbols
Punctuation characters, symbols, and/or accented alphanumeric characters (language dependent) can be entered
using the SYM key on the keyboard. Selecting SYM will display 10 special characters at a time. Use F1 (Prev) or
F2 (Next) to move to the previous/next set of special characters.
21
SECTION 3
Each special character will have a numeric character located below it. Using the keyboard, press the desired
numeric key to add the corresponding special character. Select SYM or F6 (Done) to exit the symbol entry mode.
Auto-Fill ID
If Auto-Fill ID is enabled in the configuration, the system will automatically populate the demographic fields in the
ID screen. When the patient ID field is manually populated and followed either by selecting F6 (Done) or F2 (▼),
the system automatically scans the patient directory. If records with the exact patient ID are found, the existing data
is used to fill some of the demographic fields. The auto-fill feature is designed to automatically populate last name,
first name, date of birth, age, and gender only. If no matching records are found, a brief message is displayed and
the user must manually enter the patient’s demographics.
NOTE: In order to avoid the use of incorrect data, the auto-fill feature is only possible when the ID
formats are the same between records.
When time is of the essence or if patient demographics are not available, ID information can be added to the ECG
after it has been acquired via the patient directory. Acquiring an emergency (STAT) or unidentified ECG is
explained in ECG Acquisition, Printing, Storage.
ECG Acquisition, Printing, Storage

Acquisition
Once the patient is connected, the device continuously collects and displays ECG data; therefore, before you press
ECG or RHY you should instruct the patient to relax in a supine position to ensure that the ECG is free from artifact
(noise) due to patient activity. If workflow permits patient demographic entry prior to acquisition, enter the patient
identification information as explained in Patient Demographics. After you complete the last data entry field, select
F6 (Done) to return to the real-time ECG view.
Examine the display for any of the following notification messages:
• Leads Off –displays when patient is not connected.

• Lead Fault –displays faulty lead(s). Re-prep and replace electrode(s) if necessary to obtain satisfactory
waveform(s). (See Patient Preparation.)
• Electrode Wrong Position – displays one of the following when a lead is connected incorrectly or is in the
wrong location. (See Patient Preparation.)
◦ “Limb leads misplaced?”
◦ “LA or LL misplaced?”
◦ “RA or RL misplaced?”
◦ “RA or LL misplaced?”
◦ “RA or LA misplaced?”
◦ “V1 or V2 misplaced?”
NOTE: The algorithm detecting electrode misplacements is based on normal physiology and ECG lead
order, and tries to identify the most likely switch; however, it is advisable to check the other electrode
positions in the same group (limb or chest).
• WAM Low Battery – displays when a low battery signal for the WAM is detected.
• Searching for WAM – displays when the WAM is not detected. Occurs usually when the WAM is out of
range or not powered on.
22
SECTION 3
When the problem is corrected, the device waits for 10 seconds of good data before analyzing the ECG. Please refer
to the following troubleshooting guide based on Einthoven’s Triangle:
Artifact Check Electrode

Lead II and III artifact Poor LL electrode or left leg tremor
Lead I and II artifact Poor RA electrode or right arm tremor
Lead I and III artifact Poor LA electrode or left arm tremor
V Leads Re-prep site & replace electrode
Press the ECG key. The real-time ECG view is then replaced with the acquired ECG view. The default real-time
ECG view is not available in the acquired ECG view for navigation purposes.
NOTE: New LCD label functions are available in the acquired ECG view.
NOTE: Functions are not available during acquisition.
NOTE: Change real-time display leads by selecting F2 (Leads).
To acquire an emergency (STAT) or unidentified ECG for a new patient, press the ECG key. “Collecting
10 seconds of data” is displayed on the top of the LCD and “captured, analyzed, formatted” is displayed on the
bottom of the LCD. To save the captured ECG, select F1 (ID) to enter patient demographics. At the “New
Patient?” prompt, select “No”. The device will display the last patient record entered. (If “Yes”, is selected the
ECG will not be saved and the user will return to the real-time ECG view.) Use the existing information, enter new
demographics, or search the directory. Once completed, select F6 (Done). Select F3 (Print) to print or
F6 (Done) to exit. Choose to save or delete the ECG at the “Save ECG?” prompt.
Best 10 Seconds Selection
The ELI 150c/250c incorporates a 5 minute memory buffer for collection of ECG data. When the Best 10 feature is
enabled, the device will automatically select the best 10 seconds of ECG from within the 5-minute buffer. The best
10 seconds is determined based upon measures of high and low-frequency noise found in the 10-second ECG
segments. Should a single limb lead or two precordial lead fail conditions occur, the Best 10 feature is disabled until
the limb lead fail or precordial lead fail condition is resolved. At resolution, the Best 10 feature becomes available
and the selection buffer continues.
Users can switch between BEST 10 or LAST 10 by selecting F5 (More) followed by F5 (Last) or F5 (Best)
depending on the current view.
Printing
If Auto-Print is enabled in the configuration, an ECG is printed following acquisition. To print a manual printout,
select F3 (Print).
Toggle through the available waveform display formats (3, 8 or 12 lead) by selecting F2 (Leads). A preview of the
full 10-seconds of ECG waveform is available in the acquired ECG view. The first 5 seconds are shown on the
initial view screen (page 1/2 is displayed in the upper right corner); the second 5 seconds is viewed by selecting
F2 (Leads) again (page 2/2 is displayed in the upper right corner).
If the auto-print configuration is disabled, a 10-second preview will assist in ensuring a quality ECG acquisition
prior to printing. When you acquire an ECG, the electrocardiograph captures the last 10 seconds. The relationship
between the display and the printout is the same – what is displayed in the ECG acquisition view is what will be
printed.
23
SECTION 3
In order to change the speed, gain, filter, or printout format in the acquired ECG view, select F5 (More). To
manipulate the print format of the acquired ECG regardless of the plot format configuration setting, select F4 (Fmt).
Select the function key corresponding to the desired print format. The acquired ECG view is then displayed and to
make an ECG printout copy in the new plot format, select F3 (Print). Select F6 (Done) to return to the real-time
ECG view.
Storage
The device manages storage in one of two ways – automatically or manually. When the auto-save configuration
option is enabled, ECGs are automatically saved to the directory upon acquisition and printing. When the auto-save
configuration option is disabled, the user is prompted to save the ECG after acquisition. At that time, the user can
also choose to delete the record and it will not be added to the directory.
NOTE: If auto save is enabled but the ECG is not printed, the user is prompted to save.
Acquiring Rhythm Strips

Rhythm strips are printed in the format defined in the configuration: 3 or 6 channel for the ELI 150c; 3, 6 or
12 channel for the ELI 250c. See Section 4 for instructions to configure rhythm leads.
Begin routine rhythm strips by connecting the patient to the device and entering the patient identification
information. After the last data entry field from the ID menu is completed, select F6 (Done) to return to the real-
time ECG view. Select RHY to begin rhythm printing. You can also acquire a rhythm printout by selecting RHY
without entering the patient ID.
NOTE: Rhythm printouts are only possible from the real-time ECG view.
NOTE: Rhythm acquisitions are only printed and not stored in the device.
The rhythm activity screen appears as soon as the printer begins printing the rhythm strip. The waveform display
format is similar to the real-time ECG view; however, new function keys are available during rhythm printing.
In addition to manipulating Speed, Gain, and Filter, the user can toggle different lead groups: change lead groups
during printing by selecting F2 (Leads). The change in lead groups is apparent on the printout whereas the
waveform display will remain in the default display of 2.5 seconds of Leads I, II, and V1-V6.
During 3-channel rhythm printing, the available lead groups are:

1. Default (user-selected in configuration)
2. I-II-III
3. aVR, aVL, aVF
4. V1-V2-V3
5. V4-V5-V6
During 6-channel rhythm printing, the available lead groups are:

1. Default (user-selected in configuration)
2. I-II-III-aVR-aVL-aVF
3. V1-V2-V3-V4-V5-V6
During 12-channel rhythm printing (ELI 250c only), the complete 12 leads are printed simultaneously.
During rhythm printing, place the printer in Standby mode by pressing F6 (Stby). To continue rhythm printing for
the same patient without advancing to a new page, select F6 (Cont). To stop the rhythm printing, press STOP and
the printer will automatically form feed in preparation for a new patient’s rhythm recording or ECG.

SECTION 4
Configuration Settings
Software Version
Identifies the software version of your electrocardiograph.
Cart Number
Indicates which electrocardiograph acquired or transmitted a particular ECG.
Site Number
Identifies the site of your device. Site numbers designate the hospital, clinic, or institution for ECG records stored in
an E-Scribe system and must be defined for transmitting and retrieving ECGs from that system. You can use up to
four digits for the site number. Numbers from 0 – 4095 are supported.
Site Name
Defines your clinic, hospital, or office name. You can enter up to 30 alphanumeric characters. The site name prints
at the bottom, left edge of the ECG printout.
Telephone Number
Specifies the telephone number for internal modem transmission to another unit or to an E-Scribe system. Enter up
to 45 numeric characters.
You may need to dial a 9 to get an outside line. To wait for an additional dial tone, use the letter W.
EXAMPLE: 9W14145554321
To insert a pause, use a comma (,).

To change tone dialing to pulse dialing, use the letter P.
EXAMPLE: P14145554321
(If necessary, you can use both the letter W and the letter P in the same phone number.)
TIP: To quickly delete or modify a phone number, use a shortcut. From the application screen,
simultaneously press Ï (SHIFT) + ALT + P. To edit an existing telephone number, use the Tab key.
Language
There are several languages available on the electrocardiograph.
CAUTION: Function labels are immediately translated upon selecting a new language and exiting the
configuration screen.
29

If an unknown language is visible, use the following steps to revert to the language of your country:
1. F6 (More) from real-time ECG view.

2. Select F5 (Set Time/Date).
3. Simultaneously press Ï (SHIFT) + ALT + C.
4. Enter password (“admin”)
5. Press F2 (▼) four times.
6. Press F3 (►) until the desired language appears.
7. F6 (Exit) to return to real-time ECG view.
Alphabets of specific languages may require use of special characters in demographic fields. This is accomplished
by using the SYM key on the keyboard.
Volume
Defines the keyboard click loudness. Available settings range from 0 (off) to 8 (loud).
Battery Time Out
Determines when the electrocardiograph will switch off in order to conserve the battery life of the device. The
battery time out will only occur if the keyboard has not been depressed for the time specified. The battery time out
setting is ignored if an active ECG signal is detected during transmission or while rhythm printing.
Flash Size
Indicates ECG storage capacity. Normal indicates standard memory capacity. Expanded indicates the optional
expanded memory has been installed.
ID Format
Defines the format for the patient demographic information prompts. There are three standard formats: short,
standard, or long. A custom ID format can be downloaded from ELI Link or an E-Scribe system. See Appendix A
to download a custom ID.
The short format includes the patient's last and first name, patient ID number, date of birth (automatically calculates
the age), and gender.
The standard format includes the patient's last name, patient ID number, age, height, weight, gender, race,
medication 1, medication 2, and a location field.
The long format is identical to the standard format except that it includes the patient's first name, room, and
comment fields.
Auto-Fill ID
When enabled, the device will automatically populate last name, first name, date of birth, age, and gender in the ID
screen if records with matching patient ID are found in the ECG directory.
30
SECTION 4
AC Filter
The device removes 60 Hz or 50 Hz interference. The setting you select depends on the line frequency in your
country. Always use the 60 Hz setting in the U.S. If AC interference is present, check to see that the proper AC
filter is selected.
Paper Speed
Configure to 25 mm/s or 50 mm/s for default ECG printouts. For rhythm printouts and display, speeds of 5 mm/s or
10 mm/s are also available. See Section 3 to change speeds for display or rhythm printing. Paper speed is printed at
the bottom right corner of the ECG printout.
Filter
The ECG plot-frequency filter (or print filter) can be set to 0.05 to 40 Hz, 0.05 to 150 Hz, or 0.05 to 300 Hz. The
plot-frequency filter does not filter the acquired digital record. A 40 Hz plot-filter setting will reduce the noise
(40 Hz and higher frequencies) on the printed ECG, and a 150 Hz plot-filter setting will reduce the noise (150 Hz
and higher frequencies) on the printout; a 300 Hz plot-filter setting will not filter the printed ECG. The filter setting
is printed at the bottom right corner of the ECG printout.
Height/Weight Units
Defines the units of weight and height to either pounds/inches (lb/in) or kilograms/centimeters (kg/cm).
Date Format
Select either U.S. or European format for entering and displaying the patient’s date of birth.
U.S. Date Format: MM/DD/YYYY

European Date Format: DD.MM.YYYY
NOTE: The date format option does not modify the acquisition date printed on each ECG.
Interpretation
The device automatically analyzes ECGs and prints the optional interpretation on the ECG printout. This setting
allows you to select or suppress the “interpretive” text on the ECG report.
NOTE: The ECG interpretations offered by the device are only significant when used in conjunction with
a physician over-read as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data.
Reasons
The reasons statements indicate why a particular interpretive statement was printed. Reasons statements print
enclosed in [square brackets] within the interpretive text if the interpretation option is turned on. Turning the
reasons statement function on or off does not affect the measurements performed or the interpretive statements
selected by the analysis program.
For Example:
Anteroseptal Infarct [40+ ms Q WAVE IN V1-V4]
Where “Anteroseptal Infarct” is the interpretive statement,
and “40+ ms Q WAVE IN V1-V4” is the reason statement or explanation as to why the
interpretive statement was printed.
31
SECTION 4
Append
A status or statement phrase can be appended to the ECG and printed under the interpretive text printout. Either
“unconfirmed report” or “reviewed by” can be selected; however, if you wish to have nothing appended to the ECG,
select “blank”.
Number of Copies
Defines the number of printed copies when an ECG is taken. A zero (0) setting prints the original only; one (1)
prints the original plus 1 copy; two (2) prints the original plus 2 copies, and so on. Up to 9 copies may be selected.
Copies with Interpretation
Defines whether or not printed copies will include interpretation. The clinician may request the first ECG printout
with the interpretation included. Additional copies may be printed with or without the interpretation.
Number of ECGs Retrieved
Defines the number of ECGs retrieved from an E-Scribe system. The ECGs are retrieved by ID number. A zero (0)
setting retrieves the most current ECG for that ID number. Settings from one (1) to seven (7) retrieve the most
current ECG plus “X” number of ECGs identified by the entered value. EXAMPLE: If you enter the number 5, you
will retrieve the most current ECG plus the five preceding ECGs for that ID number. ECGs retrieved from the
E-Scribe are only printed at the device and not saved.
Delete Rule
Defines the rule to mark ECGs as deleted in the ECG directory. ECGs that are marked for deletion will be
automatically removed or erased based on their acquisition date (a first-in/first-out philosophy) to make room for the
new ECG record. ECGs are only erased from the directory when they are marked for deletion and if the directory
becomes full. More than one ECG may be removed from the directory in order to make room for the new incoming
record. The delete rule selections are:
Post Plot = ECG is automatically marked for deletion after printing

Post Transmit = ECG is automatically marked for deletion after transmission
Post Plot/Transmit = ECG is automatically marked for deletion after transmission and printing
Storage Sensitivity
Dictates the resolution of all stored ECG records. The sensitivity setting is either Normal or High. If the value is set
to High, the stored ECG will have a high resolution. As a result, the record size will be large and will reduce the
storage capacity in the ECG directory.
Auto-Save ECG
Defines whether or not a newly acquired ECG will be automatically saved to the directory once it is acquired and
printed. If the auto-save configuration option is set to No and the record is printed, the device will prompt you to
“Save ECG?” F1 (Save) will store the ECG in the directory.
Auto-Print ECG
Defines whether or not the device will automatically print the ECG after acquisition. If the selected configuration
option is set to No, a manual printout is possible.

will remain visible for approximately 10 seconds followed by “Waiting for Response”, “Connected”, and “Custom
ID downloaded”. A return to the real-time ECG view indicates the custom ID download is complete. The custom
ID remains the new header format for all future ECGs until you select a different ID format in the configuration
settings. You may alter the ID format configuration to short, standard, long, or custom based on your patient
demographic entry needs. The custom ID is only deleted upon downloading a new custom ID or on the rare
occasion of downloading software – it will not be lost due to power loss or switching to a different ID format.
TIP: Upon custom ID download, the ID format will assume the group name as designed in ELI Link
or E-Scribe.
NOTE: The site number must be configured in the electrocardiograph and recognized as an established,
valid site number at the E-Scribe before downloading the custom ID.
TIP: Confirm the baud rate in the configuration settings before downloading the custom ID from ELI Link

APPENDIX B
Power Off the Device
To completely shutdown the device, disconnect the AC power cord then press the ON/OFF button. Such a
shutdown should always be performed prior to authorized repair of the device.
Test Operation
After cleaning and inspecting the device, proper operation of the unit may be confirmed by using an ECG simulator
to acquire and print a standard 12-lead ECG of known amplitude. Printing should be dark and even across the page.
There should be no evidence of print head dot failure (e.g., breaks in printing forming horizontal streaks). Paper
motion should be smooth and consistent during printing. Waveforms should appear normal with proper amplitude
and, without distortion or excessive noise. Paper should stop with perforations near the tear bar (indicating proper
cue sensor operation).
Recommendations to Biomedical Staff
Following any service to the device or when non-compliant operation is suspected, Mortara Instrument, Inc.
recommends the following procedures:
• Confirm proper operation.

• Perform testing to ensure continued electrical safety of the device
(use IEC 60601-1 or ANSI/AAMI ES1 methods and limits).
• patient leakage current
• chassis leakage current
• earth leakage current
• dielectric strength (mains and patient circuits)
Battery Maintenance
The device houses an internal, sealed lead-acid battery. When installed, the battery has a shelf life of approximately
six months without recharging. If the battery has been stored for a long period in a discharged state, it may not be
able to regain its capacity even if it is recharged.
For information about replacing the battery, please refer to the device’s service manual.
Mortara Instrument, Inc. recommends that the device be plugged into AC power whenever possible to maximize
battery life and for the user to develop a habit of recharging the battery before the unit indicates a “low battery”
condition. (That is, reduced depth of discharge.) Battery life varies by how the battery is maintained and how much
it is used. For improved battery life, keep the electrocardiograph plugged in when not in use.
The sealed lead-acid battery will provide optimum life when the unit is fully charged after each use. When the
battery charge is depleted to its lowest level (10.6V), the device will automatically power down. To recharge a
battery from its lowest level to 85%, 4 hours of recharging may be necessary. To reach 90%, 7 hours of recharging
may be necessary. It may take longer to reach 100%. The device can be used with AC power while simultaneously
charging.

APPENDIX B
Cleaning the Thermal Printer
To clean the printer
1. Disconnect the power source.
2. Clean the exterior surface of the unit with a damp cloth using a solution of mild dishwashing detergent
diluted in water.
3. After washing, thoroughly dry off the unit with a clean, soft cloth or paper towel.
To clean the print head
NOTE: Do not let soap or water come into contact with the writer, plugs, jacks, or vents.
1. Open writer door.
2. Lightly rub print head with an alcohol pad.
3. Wipe with a clean cloth to remove alcohol residue.
4. Allow print head to air dry.
5. Clean the platen by using adhesive tape. Apply the tape and pull it off. Rotate roller and repeat until entire
roller is clean.
6. Clean cue sensor photo detector.
